While working on the iproute2 generic XDP frontend, I noticed that

Nice improvement!  A couple of absolute nitpicks below..

The intended model for generic XDP from b5cdae3291f7 ("net: Generic
XDP") is, however, that only one out of the two can be present at
once which is also indicated as such in the XPD netlink dump part.

Good point.

Out of curiosity - the leading underscores refer to caller having to
hold rtnl?  I assume they are not needed in the function below because
it's static?

I think I don't quite follow the last question, but it probably makes
sense to add an ASSERT_RTNL() into dev_xdp_attached() inline helper to
make it clearly visible to callers of this api.

Probably personal preference, but seems like designated struct
initializer would do quite nicely here and save the memset :)

I had that initially, but I recalled that gcc < 4.6 does not handle this
style for the initialization of anonymous struct/union properly (e.g.,
we fixed that in iproute2 as well). Andrew Morton still uses gcc 4.4.4
and occasionally sends kernel fixes, so we might end up like this anyway.

Would it make sense to set xdp_flags to XDP_FLAGS_DRV_MODE here to keep
things symmetrical?  I know you are just preserving existing behaviour
but it may seem slightly arbitrary to a new comer to report one of the
very similarly named flags in the dump but not the other.

I thought about it, it's kind of redundant information since
IFLA_XDP_ATTACHED attribute w/o IFLA_XDP_FLAGS attribute today
says that it's native already. It might look strange if we add
also XDP_FLAGS_DRV_MODE there, since it doesn't give anything
new. I rather see it similar to XDP_FLAGS_UPDATE_IF_NOEXIST flag
that is for updating fd only, but I don't really have a strong
opinion on this though. I could add it to the respin if preferred.
